How do you call an onclick event from MenuItem since there is no OnClick property for MenuItem in ASP.NET?

Using NavigateUrl we can navaigate to a particular url but once I click on MenuItem it should trigger an event.

• @jbabey: I have gone through the same link before posting the question and I have tried it out but it's not working. I need for MenuItem and not for Menu – Learner Commented Jul 9, 2012 at 14:12
• @Viswa if you read the documentation you'd see that you get which menu item was clicked through the one generic event. what you are asking for does not (and should not) exist, as it is a subset of the functionality that already exists. – jbabey Commented Jul 9, 2012 at 14:13

Menu has MenuItem.MenuItemClick event, you can use that to do whatever you wanted with onclick.

You can use the Menu.MenuItemClick event of the Menu that contains your menu item:

http://msdn.microsoft./en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.menu.menuitemclick.aspx

<asp:Menu runat="server" ID="MyMenu" onmenuitemclick="MyMenu_MenuItemClick" ... >
    ...
</asp:Menu>

Clicking on any menu item that does not have the NavigateUrl property set will cause the page to be postback and the Menu.MenuItemClick event handler to be executed.
